Brasserie à 4 Temps in Carcassonne – French Bistronomy by Franck Putelat

Brasserie à 4 Temps in Carcassonne

Since 2016, Brasserie à 4 Temps has brought the spirit of a great Parisian brasserie to the heart of Carcassonne. Conceived by double Michelin-starred chef Franck Putelat – a Meilleur Ouvrier de France and Bocuse d’Or silver medalist – the restaurant is a refined, welcoming space where the kitchen’s ambition is rooted in generosity and authenticity. The recently renovated dining room, with its velvet banquettes and a new glass-roofed extension, sets the stage for a bistronomic experience that runs from early morning until late evening.

The menu changes with the seasons and is structured around a simple, elegant idea: four starters, four seafood dishes, four meat dishes, and four desserts. Alongside these, a handful of “incontournables” reimagine regional classics – including the local cassoulet – with a lighter, more gourmet touch. Tapas to share round out the offering. The wine list is a deep dive into Languedoc and Roussillon, with a strong selection of domaine bottlings that reflect the terroir.

The restaurant is open continuously from 6:30 am to 10:30 pm, covering breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner – the four times that give the brasserie its name. This all-day rhythm, combined with a relaxed yet polished atmosphere, makes it a natural choice for everything from a quick petit déjeuner to a leisurely evening meal. The Michelin guide’s recommendation reflects the consistent quality of the cooking and the warmth of the service.

Under the direction of chef de brasserie Michel Perron, the team delivers a cuisine that is both authentic and playful, rooted in the best of French bistronomy. It’s a place where the craft of a celebrated chef meets the everyday pleasure of a great meal.
